The Ghost of a Model T: And Other Stories (The Complete Short Fiction of Clifford D. Simak Book 3)

This collection gathers short fiction by Clifford D. Simak exploring themes of nostalgia and loss in a technology-dominated world. The title story follows Hank, who encounters a driverless Model T while walking home from a bar. The vintage car transports him back to Big Spring Pavilion and his youth, though he discovers the past differs from his memories. The volume includes "City," the story that inspired Simak's novel of the same name, alongside other examples of his short fiction. Each story features an introduction by David W. Wixon, literary executor of the Clifford D. Simak estate. Simak was the third author honored as a Grand Master of Science Fiction by the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers Association. He received three Hugo Awards, a Nebula Award, an International Fantasy Award, and a Bram Stoker Lifetime Achievement Award.
